Atmospheric Pressure Cold Plasma Processing Workshop
Signup Today!
Background: Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is finding applications in processes requiring low temperature, minimal use of harsh chemicals, and minimal effluence.
Objectives:
1) Synergistic networking for researchers considering the application of atmospheric pressure cold plasma processing in their discipline;
2) Attracting interdisciplinary expertise to this new field of plasma-assisted processing;
3) Identifying research hurdles and challenges; and
4) Facilitating formation of research teams and writing of proposals.
Date: Tuesday July 21

Mesh Network Monitors Volcanoes: Sensors dropped onto Mount St. Helens relayed data after forming an ad-hoc network.
Blog by Kristina Grifantini of Technology Review
Today kicks off the three-day MobiSys 2009 conference in Krakow, Poland--a showcase of emerging mobile and wireless technology. And one paper that caught my eye comes from Washington State University and the U.S. Geological Survey. WSU Researchers will present a paper that shows how an air-dropped mesh sensor network can monitor volcanoes in real time.
Pande Receives Prestigious NSF CAREER Award
PULLMAN, Wash – Partha Pratim Pande, assistant professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, has received a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award to design a tiny and sophisticated wireless communications system – all on an integrated circuit that measures only about 20 millimeters on each side.
With the five-year, $450,000 award, Pande and his research group are working to develop a wireless network on a multicore computer chip. With hundreds of computer processors on present-day integrated circuits, the conventional metal wires that connect them have become an increasing problem. The traditional metal wire-based communication between two distant cores in a single chip gives rise to high latency and energy dissipation.
